Spring entertaining ideas with Maxwell & Williams
September marks the start of longer days, lighter meals, and gatherings that spill out into gardens and patios. It’s also Heritage Month in South Africa, a time when food becomes more than nourishment, it becomes a way of celebrating connection, culture, and community. What better way to set the scene for these moments than with timeless tableware that makes entertaining effortless?
From coffee chats to teatimes, celebrate with White Basics Rococo
As Women’s month draws to a close, we pause to reflect, to celebrate, and to give thanks. To the women who raise their voices and their cups, who hold space for others, and who weave beauty into the everyday, this one’s for you.
Comfort, connection & Cast Iron magic
This August, we celebrate the strength, warmth, and creativity of women, the heart of every home and the storytellers of every table. Women’s Month in South Africa is an invitation to honour the meals shared, the laughter echoing in kitchens, and the traditions passed down in the comforting aroma of a family favourite.
Tea, tablescapes & timeless style
Step into a world where design meets storytelling, and every sip or setting says something beautiful. This season, Maxwell & Williams invites you to dress your table like you would yourself, with intention, elegance, and a little personality.
Cosy plates & comfort bites, serveware that makes winter meals shine!
July in South Africa means chilly evenings, misty mornings, and a craving for food that feels like a hug. Think slow-simmered soups, rich stews straight from the pot, and Sunday roasts that bring everyone to the table.
Quiche Lorraine: A Classic French Favourite
Few dishes are as beloved—or as debated—as the Quiche Lorraine. Hailing from the Lorraine region of France (its name comes from the German word Kuchen, meaning cake), this open tart has been around since the 16th century. Back then, it was made with bread dough, but thankfully for us, today’s version features buttery shortcrust or puff pastry filled with a rich custard of eggs, cream and crispy bacon.
